@jledbetter I'm pretty sure that was used under Eisenhower, maybe by William F. Buckley or someone else at National Review.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@jledbetter Will try to dig up. Buckley was quoting John Stuart Mill, who called Tories "the Stupid Party." Buckley applied to Eisenhower.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

@jledbetter Also I think Irving Kristol might have quoted Mill to same effect.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes

@jledbetter I'm sure Simon got it from Kristol or Buckley. No way Simon was reading JS Mill on his own.
